The big sell: One of the obvious attractions of the two-level townhouse in North Vancouver’s Manor at Edgemont complex is the 800-square-foot wraparound terrace, which envelops such a large expanse of the home that there are three separate sets of french doors that lead out to it. The spaciousness continues inside with an interior that has been thoughtfully planned and offers not only plenty of room for family members, but easy entertaining options for guests through an open-plan main floor. It includes a custom-built kitchen — with central island and glass-mounted breakfast bar — a dining room and a 22-by-16-square-foot living room with a focal gas fireplace. The bedrooms are upstairs and the master has a walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom. The property has been tastefully decorated with designer paint colours, discreet recessed lighting, and is close to the amenities of Edgemont Village.
